How to choose the right supplements
Is There A Need for Supplements?
The health industry is a billion-dollar industry with more and more offers to help ‘heal or fix’ our ‘imperfect bodies’. It’s important to remember that despite the fact that we have a body that may not look ‘perfect’ or if we have a body that has an imbalance, it is still absolutely divine. There is nothing wrong with a body that isn’t perfect – this is how we are designed. If we do have pains or inefficiencies, however, it’s nice to see if we can find a better balance for our bodies, so that we may feel better, have more energy, and can easily live radiantly. Seeking out the right kind of supplements for our body is therefore an act of love and kindness towards ourselves, not something we gravitate towards to compensate for what we look like.
Why Supplements?
With this being said, we do live in a world where the nutrients we get from our food aren’t always amazing due to the processing and globalization of how we produce food. Naturally, it’s better to shop locally and eat with the seasons in mind for better freshness. It’s also better to buy organically where we can steer clear of chemicals and toxins, as well as make sure we eat a variety of things. However, it may still be hard to get our minerals, vitamins and other nutrition needs met only through food. If this is the case for you, it’s advisable that you keep your individual body in mind, as well as its specific needs when getting your supplements. There is no one size fits all and your body needs to be cared for as an individual when you look into how to balance it the best. Strive for balance, look to support your body, and only get something that will help you thrive. When we thrive and are happy, this is when we’re the most radiant and beautiful.
Buying Supplements
When getting supplements it’s important to be aware that often you get what you pay for. Many times a product may market itself as having a certain mineral and nutrient, yet the amount and the purity of this particular ingredient may be a fraction of the content or be compromised in terms of quality. The good and pure supplements tend to have fewer amounts at a higher price, which isn’t bad because it’s better to have a little bit of something great than filling our bodies with a bunch of ‘fillers’ and a non-quality product.
If we work with a naturopath (check out more on this here) they tend to have a company they recommend and trust and it’s easy to get our supplements from here. If you are not working with a practitioner it’s advisable that you consult with one before deciding what you need. If you intuitively know which supplement your body is lacking and need a place to buy it, we recommend the site below, as they have amazing quality supplements. This is where we get important minerals such as zinc, vitamin D, omega 3, etc. We also very much love Form Nutrition for protein as this has been developed by leading experts and consists of a complete palette of amino acids. They also sell probiotics, which are great for the gut. Before you get anything we advise that you either consult with a professional, however or that you tune into your intuitive knowledge.

There are many beauty treatments and glorifying things out there, but the ones we put forward here are treatments and items that work to support and balance the body. This way the beauty enhancements that arise are a natural effect of a better functioning body, emotional healing, and a nourished heart”.
